Styling Your Extensions and Wigs | Baguley's of Cheshire

For any first time users, knowing how to apply and style your Hair Extensions can be tricky. A lot of people struggle at first to learn how to blend the extensions with their own hair, make sure the clips are covered and style them so that they can remain inconspicuous.

Here are a few tips of how to put your extensions in:

First, you will need to split your hair into sections. Depending on your extensions you will have to make a different number of sections. For our 3 piece extensions you will have to create 4 sections. The top section of your hair needs to be the thickest layer. This is because if this layer is not thick enough, the clips of your extensions will become visible. To ensure this section is not thick, I would advise parting your hair in the centre and taking a section about 2 inches from your parting. Tie this section to the top of your head with an elastic band.

Then create three more equal sections. Excluding your top layer, your extensions need to be clipped above each layer. On the top layer, add the extensions with 5 clips. This is because this is the widest section of your hair, therefore the widest extensions need to be clipped in here to assure a natural blend. On the second layer add the 4 clip extensions and the final layer the three clips.



Under the final layer you should have a layer of your own hair under your extensions. Take this layer and twist it, then pin it under your extensions so that it is hidden. Release the rest of your natural hair from the elastic bands and use your hands to blend with your extensions.

Another great tip for making your extensions blend with your natural hair is to curl them. Or buy pre-curled extensions like the ones you see here. Curling your hair as well as the extensions gives you a better blend as it creates a more layered look to your hair.
